I am kind of a freebie nut. I love trying out new products and getting free samples, and I never fail to get excited when I see one in the mailbox! Today I received a box of Quaker Quakes Rice Snacks - Cheddar Cheese flavor. (if you would like to order a sample, here is the link:
Quaker Rice Snack Free Sample Offer
You can choose between Cheddar Cheese flavor or a Chocolately Drizzle snack. The sample came with a coupon for .50 off a future Quaker Rice snack product (which apparently also includes Tortillaz - I always look unfavorably on companies that send you a free sample without a coupon to encourage you to purchase the product if you enjoyed it. ) The rice snacks were tasty, though for the amount they give you in the 50 calorie pack, I would rather eat a single cake than several little 'medallions.'
I haven't really eaten rice cakes for a year or so now until I received these, but they were very important to me when I first started trying to lose weight. They were a food I used to transition from snacking on really unhealthy fatty foods to healthy snacks. They afforded me a "treat" tasting food without the consequences of a bag of chips. It only took a few weeks, and I left the rice cakes behind (because they are nutrionally void) and moved on to fully healthy fare.
If you haven't already ordered a sample of these, give them a whirl!
